I love basic 100. It covers the long awaited 97 candy stripe hbk attire and finally one of his tights attires from the 2004 WM20era run (u can tell by the back saying Shawn Michaels hbk instead Of the more old school tights that have heartbreak kid on the back. The whole Set is great
Also need the ultimate hhh and the full ghostbusters series

I haven't lost interest in the line. I've just lost interest in the complaining. Personally I'm excited for tonight. Bring em on. This. And if people dont like what they see, dont buy it. Gotta pile on. I’m in an excited mode; just got what I consider the best overall elite set possibly ever (69) and I’m excited to see what’s next. Like others, I’m bummed there aren’t more flashback based lines but you know we’re gonna see some cool FBs and prob some FB based ultimates

Oceanside Target just got a fresh restock of E66 and the BP series w DX. Fortunately they also had a single Alexander Wolfe which I grabbed. Great figure, hope to see E67 pop up soon so I can grab an Orton

As usual, bland booking that goes nowhere. He teams w guys as a heavy and they mostly lose. He cuts a promo here and there and gets an attack here and there but no real momentum. I think he’s great and could/should be a top level dominant heel that holds the belt on and off and bloodies people and nearly never loses. They already messed up on that so it would take a lot of effort to make him seem like a strong top heel again.

If they wanted to make a statement w raw now that it’s a “new era” they could start by having Brock wrestle tomorrow and defend the title constantly. Normally I don’t think it’d happen but since lesnar and Heyman are so close in real life he may be able to pull strings. Prob a pipe dream but still

How many times do we need the same chant in one match

The Ricochet is definitely scale wrong but I have such a hard time feeling negative about it because I love the deco

Page reminds me of like 93 hbk that is awesome but needs to Get a little more in shape and slightly more agile and then he will just Own it all so steroids lol i don't have a problem personally with the smaller guys. maybe lucha underground conditioned me but i'm open minded to viewing wrestling similarly to comic books - spider-man is a teenager and fights adults, etc. i can suspend my disbelief, but i understand why people have issues. i let go of the size thing in the early 2000s. Not really even a size thing. I just feel like his in ring style is so cool and incorporates some good old school elements but if he had a slight more spring in his step he would be over the top. I already love what he does but I imagine him turned up a little more

Got my set today... Lashley is fantastic. Scan is perfect and though he's changed his gear, I like his attire. Mine had a backwards foot, but I fixed it. Miz may be the sleeper of the set. From top to bottom, it's perfect. Best Miz scan to date. Ali caught me by surprise. I was excited about adding some yellow to my shelf. Well... I got the red version. I was kind of annoyed at first, but it's such a good figure regardless. So I'll live. Rey stands out on my shelf because the green is so unique. Only complain is his giant hands. They need to make some new Rey molds now that he's back. I do wish the eyes had the FX printing. Ricochet is great. Sure he's a tad tall. But I got him in a pose that hides it. If I can get a knee pad decal, I'll swap parts to shorten him. If not I'll leave it. I was so excited for Ciampa. Well, too bad for me... for now. Mine had a big red spot on his stomach and a big gob of dry glue on his back. I didn't notice it till after I opened it. Luckily, Ringside is willing to help me out. But now I got to ship him back and then wait for him to be shipped back to me. The only good thing is, I'll probably have my Elite 70 Gargano around the same time I finally get my 69 Ciampa. Gotta agree. I didn’t even care about the Miz in this set but once you get him in hand he’s one of the best of the set

Got my case in today, what an incredible set - they all look amazing in person. Was glad to get the red chase Ali also. The entire set is awesome 👏 😎

I agree w many that for the line to really survive and thrive they need to kinda front load these next few sets. Something like ....
Series 3
AJ with a bunch of accessories HBK Montreal w title, entrance gear, flag that he disgraced etc. maybe a stunned looking sculpt when he acted all Surprised Bret got screwed
Series 4
Hogan Hollywood - honestly any look from 96-98 would do Stone cold - definitive, multiple vests, multiple knee braces including different colors - three cloth shirts all out level - maybe even an online exclusive w blood from wm13 if at all possible
If they went all out they could do it - even pull a move where the next set has the first ever HHH in 2000-01 attire etc

Would love for the HBK to be Montreal attire, and the chase is the red attire he wore the night he hit Taker w the chair in the tag bout
If they went for the 2004 era I’d say make the main his WM20 attire and the chase the Backlash 04 attire

I might be in the minority here but I don't think Ciampa is that out of scale, I also think the taller hips make the figure look strange. As if his legs become too long compared to the rest of his body. It looks more to me that Ricochet and Ali are both too tall. I think the scale has been out of wack for a while. Not just in terms of height but also part choices. There are suspect choices that have never felt right to me. Bàlor getting the ripped torso for instance, Gargano too if they give it to him, drives me nuts. Yes I know both are ripped, but the torso Bàlor has been using gives him way too much mass. A lot of people need new torsos really. Samoa Joe looks tiny compared to the rest of the line while Nakamura is massive. Maybe I'm just nuts. I agree, the scale was only really accurate at first w Mattel. Still pretty good generally but sometimes we see some wonky scale
